Chapter Eleven:
The Departure of Blagoslav
In the spring, the son of Rada and Alexey was born. He was named Eremey.
Blagoslav was very happy about the birth of the boy! He understood how this would help Rada! He also saw what a wise and already adult soul was sent by God into this body!
… Another year had passed.
The community settled down at a new place.
One day, Blagoslav invited Rada to have a talk.
“It’s time for me to depart! Be silent! Do not interrupt! You see — my time has come!
“Do not grieve, granddaughter! For everything has its time…
“You have seen more than once that the sunset can be as beautiful as the sunrise… Dusk, too, can be just as beautiful as the dawn!
“The ‘sunset’ of earthly human life can be beautiful too!…
“You have been a joy to me all these years, you have been a hope and a consolation in the most difficult moments of my earthly life. You gave me also the happiness to know about the bright future: the Sun of my great-grandson, your son Eremey, will rise above the Earth!
“Well, my granddaughter, you really do not need to cry!”
“I’m not crying, grandpa!” — Rada brushed aside the tear and, smiling, embraced Blagoslav.
“Well, that’s better! You know that the Sun of Svarog is inextinguishable! And it is my turn to replenish His Light with all the Light and Love that I cultivated in me.
“Go, assemble the community! There will be a farewell!”
Everyone gathered: young and old.
Blagoslav bowed to the community members with a bow to the earth. For a long time, he hugged everyone by the silence of the great soul.
Then he spoke:
“It’s time for me to say goodbye. Today, I must leave you. I must leave this body and the burden of earthly cares, and also the responsibility for the whole community.
“Forgive me if I have offended anyone, if I was unjust!
“To replace me, I propose to elect Rada. Not because she’s my granddaughter… But only because the Divine Will is always open to her without concealment! The Wisdom of God — of Rod, Svarog the Most High — is always ready to be perceived by her, and there is no interference from her own desires or personal thoughts!
“Do you want that?
“Or is there someone else whom you want more — to lead the community now?”
“Rada! We want it to be Rada!”
“This is great… But she cannot cope with this responsibility without your support! Her son is still small, her child still needs a lot of care!
“Will you accept her as she is? Will you help her? Next to her — strong and devoted people should stand up, only then can the community be a place of God’s Love on the Earth!”
“We will help!”
… Blagoslav bowed to everyone again, entered his hut and closed the door…

Rada tried to go into meditation as deeply as possible, so as not to interfere with her grandfather. And — by her own presence — not to hold him here, but to meet him There!
… She saw in the Light her father Radomir, and her great-grandfather, with Whom she also often spoke, Alexey, and many other acquaintances and unfamiliar Divine Teachers. Here — in the Divine world — They together joyfully greeted Blagoslav!
… She, while staying There, on the other side, did not hurry to talk about all of this to the community members.
Then she went out in front of people and said a few words about what she saw.
